Go to Wowhead: YOU ARE NOW PREPARED and enter your NPC's name.


A window will appear with matches, select your NPC.


Confirm it's your NPC.


Find and remember the digits at the end of this url.


Download, install and launch WoWModelViewer - followed by going to "View" tab and selecting "View NPC".
Website: wowmodelviewer.org


Enter the digits you found on WoWhead.


There should only be 2 results at best, select the appropriate one.
You now have found the correct displayID for your NPC!


Questions and answers:

Why not skip WoWhead and search for the NPC name in the model viewer?

Because you're bound to run into multiple results, some which will bug out ingame.
